I have taught in schools, colleges and as a private tutor for twenty five years. Whether one-to-one or in a class situation I have developed a teaching style that centres on the individual.

Ben H
Experienced and engaging tutor of English and music.
I firmly believe that teaching is a two-way process. Whether I'm in a classroom or online, I will create a dialogue so the pupils/tutees feel involved in the process and are able to question, inquire and verbalise what we are learning. Very few people learn by being told something once, so my tutoring sessions are generally about discovery, mastery and learning side by side to answer the big questions along with my years of expertise providing the content.I have worked in education for 12 years in all sorts of settings, with a huge range of pupils. My track record is impressive and I firmly believe...

Effective tutor
My name is Lauren, I am a current BA Theology student at Canterbury Christ Church University. I have tutored in GCSE geography before online.

I have also tutor in GCSE English, although I don’t offer that service anymore, I approach the teaching in a similar way. For example, we would discuss relevant quotations and language techniques. Again focusing on weaker parts at stages, I did make sure to cover as much as possible with both s...

Jiandan H
My son has gained a great deal of confidence in Mandarin after learning with Jiandan. She explains concepts clearly, patiently answers questions, and always clear any doubts he has. Her support was especially valuable during a crucial exam period, helping him improve his understanding and perform with greater confidence. Jiandan is a dedicated and encouraging teacher, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Mandarin effectively.

Phil T
My child was really struggling with Nat 5 Chemistry and parts of the Physics syllabus; the school was unsuccessful on 3 occasions at employing a chemistry teacher so you can imagine the horror we presented to Phil!
He took it in his stride and within weeks had not only found the level we were working at and begun to establish rapport, and it was joyous to see the boost in confidence alone.
Phil has a no nonsense approach and is incredibly diligent – I don’t think he’s doing this as a side hustle, he does actually want to get your kid to learn.
Feedback is very good too.
My child is expected to pass with good marks now and above all felt confident going into the exams.
We will definitely be keeping him on for Highers next year!
